Protein Bars and protein



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I am having some problems with snacking and chocolate. I have heard alot of you mention yummy health bars that take your chocolate cravings away. Well, with me being in Australia I havent seen alot of stuff around like that here, is there anywhere I can buy them online?

Also what do you put in your Protein Shakes for brekky? When you say you actually put chocolate Protein in it...what do you mean by that, can you actually buy protein?

Sorry to be kinda slow, I just havent heard of it.

Thanks

I personally like the Balance Gold Bars for my chocolate cravings, they have 14 grams of Protein and satisfy my chocolate craving

Here is a link for them

I do not drink Protein drinks in the morning, no liquid calories for me, the only time I have a Protein Drink is when Iam on liquids after a fill

Hi Kel- Try drugstore.com and do a search for Protein powders and drinks. They usually are soy or whey protein and they come in lots of flavors including chocolate. Also a great, yummy ready to drink shake is made by EAS. I buy them because they are so easy and good! The low carb ones only have 1 carb and 19 grams of protein and lots of other Vitamins and minerals. The chocolate fudge is really good... and the rich dark chocolate. And they only have 110 calories! I drink them for Breakfast all the time. Good luck!:)

Hi Kel, I'm in WA and my DH takes Protein powders (for his muscles :) ) and he orders online. The powders are usally some sort of whey Protein, which is then flavoured with choc or strawb or caramel mint toffee latte :) The powders can have added carbs, high carbs, low carbs, no carbs and everything in between, so I would suggest thinking about exactly what you want before you start looking or you may end up more confused than ever - like me :cheeky Most of the Docs here dont seem as worried about the protein stuff as they do in the states - not sure why... Anyway the sites DH uses are:

and

www.mrsupplement.com.au

Hope that helps :P

Zone bars are awesome, but require a lot of chewing and very small bites. 16grms of Protein and they have lots of great flavors, specially the choc-peanut-graham.

I love the Unjury products, especially the unflavored, and someone has already sent you the link. I like the Zone Perfect bars, the EAS bars, Atkins CarbAdvantage shakes, Body for Life shakes (EAS also). Some of them are very dense and require lots of chewing, but that can be a good thing! I feel sure you can find whatever you need online, somewhere! Cindy

Right now I am just trying to loose some weight preban. I have a Protein Shake for breakfast and then another for dinner and a good lunch. My favorite is 100% Whey chocolate Carmel from GNC and then 8 ounces of low carb milk, a banana and 1 tablespoon of sugarfree fat free pudding. Yummmmy! Sometimes I add Peanut Butter to bring the Protein up, if I didn't do well at lunch. Keri

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
